25/09 - Dairy Farm Nature Park (26 Sep 09)

Dairy Farm Nature Park was officially opened on 5 Sep 09. Being a new nature park, it attracted a high turn out of 17 participants joining this outing. Our meeting point was at Carpark A (nearer to the main road) to make it convenient for those who do not drive.

24/09 - Upper Peirce (29 Aug 09)

This morning's IMOG outing to Upper Pierce/Nee Soon Swamp was an exciting one. The place has great potential and there were many creatures which we seldom see in our usual macro sites. We saw huge/giant ants about an inch long, millipedes, strange look creature (Beetle larvae), frogs, Geosesarmar crabs, tree snail, etc. There are also quite a number of dragonflies and damselflies. The place was wet and possibly rained in the previous night or early morning. While we were there, it rained for about an hour too. Light was poor but by about 10 am, the sun was out. We ended our outing at about 1:30pm, and all of us were quite happy about what we got there... ;)

Few subjects could be found here, and many more will be posted in the NPSS Website (http://npss.org.sg/forum/)
